Hope everyone had a good Easter over the weekend. we got invited to go over to the Richmonds a family in the ward and then they called us on Saturday and told us that we are going to be going over to the Stake Presidents house for dinner with them and so we did(the stake President lives in the ward). it was a good day yesterday o before i forget sister sugiyama and her son are going to be in rexburg come Wednesday i gave him the house address and the phone number for them to come and visit. he is going to be going to school at BUY-I and he just got off his mission last Tuesday and he spoke in church yesterday and now he is leaving for school. yesterday in church went really good the choir sang 3 different songs and the primary sang a song as well and we had a youth speaker and then a homecoming talk. and both of the talks was about the atonement and the homecoming talk was really good he was talked about want happened in the garden, and the cross, and the resurrection as well. and we are going to be going over to the sugiyama's house for dinner tonight. i got the package and the birds nests did not make it in one piece sorry. thank you for the calendar and i see why chelle that you was waiting for my SD card. buddy ate some of the barbait wow buddy she one strong and crazy dog that's all i got to say and plus we have had him since i was 12 i think so for almost 9 years now. cause i remember des bring him when they came from hamer or somewhere and they brought a dog for me cause nikey got hit and was killed the day before school started one year. did i ever help out on those lawns as all for Robin Parkinson and that is way up their as well. that is going to be a all day job for ya so have fun to bad i am not their to help out. and have fun driving bus this week and you will polly go golfing sometime down their if not you will have to go golfing with tom and mikeal edelmayer sometime. i know they will enjoy it. hey trent ricks gets home this month as well sometime don't know when but you might have to call his mom and find out when for you can go to it and see him and his mom. that's cool that scott and heather was back in town and visited over the weekend you should have told them that he better come back for my homecoming as well and come and visit. ya let me know about elder Forsgren and how he is doing. maybe that's why i have not got a letter from him in a while but who knows. maybe i will get one from him this week sometime.

o i got to tell a funny story that happened to me and elder bullard a couple of days ago. we was doing some less active hunting trying to find some of the less actives or inactive i should say that has not been to church in years and we was going to this one house and the last name was Shiffer(keep that in mind) and we was going up to the door we asked if she lived here and she said "ya that's me me last name is Shiffer" and we was like sweet and then she step out the door and we was talking and she asked me where i was from and all of that and i told her that i was from Idaho and then she asked me where in Idaho i told her rexburg and she was like "really" told me that she was from rexburg as well. she lives right across from the hibbard school and i asked her if she was related to ty shiffer and ty is her younger brother i graduated with ty back in 2009. i also played football with him, he was the kicker for my senior year. and so we was talking about that and some other stuff as well. it was just really cool that i talked to someone that is from rexburg. she is going to school out here in grand rapids for Law. so i thought i would share that with you guys.

well last Tuesday we was at a investigators house and talked to her about church and how she needs to come to church every Sunday. she is in her 80's right now and she can move around pretty good for being in her 80's. and then after that we went less active hunting again for a little bit and we found a inactive that has not been to church since he has got out of high school and that has only been like 5 years and we was talking with him and then after that we had to ride the bus back to go and get something to eat and while we was eating we got a call from are ward mission leader saying that are appointment with him to go and see another less active fell though cause she was sick and not felling good and she didn't want us to get sick ether. so we had to wait for the bus for 50 mins to ride it back for 30 mins then wait for 10 mins to get on another bus to go back to are apartment for the evening. on Wednesday we had district meeting up in greenville and it was really good the zone leaders was their for it cause i guess they was going on trade offs with the zone leaders cause they might be getting a full time car and same with us next transfer but we will see. but then has we was coming back down we stop and got elder bullards bike cause he was getting it fixed their and i had to buy some stuff for the other bike that i was using and i had to buy a helment as well. then later on that day we was just teaching less actives and one investigator as well that day. then on Thursday we had 7 appointments with less actives and investigators as well and well only 2 of them was their and so we only taught 2 lessons that day out of 7 which was sad o well it is a everyday thing for a missionary lol. but on Friday we had 5 appointments and that all was home which was way good and we was really busy that day as well. so for the week it was really good we had a good week here in grand rapids teaching and finding some less actives and some new investigators as well. well today we are going to go to the church house and play some volley ball with some other missionaries and also some members that are going to be their. so hopefully it is going to be a good day today and that i wont be on crutches jk i wont be i am just making fun on Mykal forsgren lol which i should be. but that's all for now got to get some other emails off and then off to go and play volley ball with some other missionaries and i will let you know about transfers next week if not sooner and well. bye for now tell next week and we will talk to you then love ya.
